The petitioner proposes to work as a martial arts instructor in the United States. The endeavor focuses on providing instruction and training in martial arts disciplines.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The motion to reopen was dismissed because the petitioner submitted no new facts or documentary evidence as required by 8 C.F.R. § 103.5(a)(2). The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to identify any specific error of law or fact in the prior appellate decision, merely reasserting arguments against the Director's initial denial.
